As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day on Monday, I am reminded how fortunate we are to live in this nation established on the principal of freedom. I am especially thankful for the brave men and women fighting for our freedom at home and abroad as well as those who have paid the ultimate price so that we might remain free.

Just as our Governor served our county in the United States Navy, I am proud of my service in the United States Marine Corps because it taught me that freedom is never free. As we gather with our friends, family and loved ones for this holiday, I encourage you to remember and honor the sacrifices made by every member of our armed services, both past and present.

No matter how you are celebrating this 4th of July, please celebrate safely. Enjoy the holiday weekend!

Sincerely,

Ken Lawson
